Installing/unistalling app via ADB

[Guest squrl]

Hi,

I wanted to try Wavesecure, but didn't like the idea of installing UPA (uninstall protection), so I decided to try and install the app to system partition where it shall survive even a hard reset.

In recovery I sucesfully managed to push the apk file to /system/app via ADB but when I boot the phone up, I don't see Wavesecure in the apps list. What am I doing wrong?

And another question, I was tampering with CyanogenMod Desire port and pulled out Launcher2, because I foolishly thought it will work on the rooted stock ROM. Obviously it ended up in FC loop so I couldn't get to uninstall it properly.

What I did was firning up ADB again and deleting the com.android.launcher2 folder and the apk file (can't remember exact locations), but I still see Launcher2 under Manage applications menu. How do I get rid of that entry?

Thanks a lot,

I can see that this is an old post, but I've been searching for ways to remove apps through adb. Now I found a solution.

1. Get a custom recovery (ROM Manager)

2. Boot to ClockWork Recovery and go to partitions and mount /system

3.

adb remount

adb shell

cd /sytem/apps

ls

rm com.ws* (for WaveSecure)

rm Twitter.apk (for Twitter and so on.

exit

4. Unmount /system from Recovery and Reboot
